I also think the Crown Tournament gave you a better field. If they took Tulane and Boise State, they'd have taken us. Now, what I don't know is if that tournament is a buy-in or not. If it was, there's no way this administration and AD would do that. We aren't under Smatresk or Wren Baker anymore...
Anyone know if we got any revenue for making it to the NIT semifinals?
Probably just expenses if I had to guess. Still, the media was better then no media.
The extra games were not beneficial to the whole team (like football bowl games) since no bench players played and the whole team basically gets replaced each season now.
A move like that kills all sports unless you've gotten all of our donors lined up to agree that they will, in fact, still give the same amount and are 'Ok' with using that money on basketball only. I suspect that the reality is that MANY of our big hitters are here for football first and basketball second. Kill that off and you likely lose them entirely.
